Flight

and only the wise can see them."

Ah summer. I am in the middle of it, but I keep thinking, I should be doing more, being out more, enjoying the sun. Work gets in the way, and the million things I need to do that I can't seem to get done. Thankfully there are days where a breather just manages to squeeze past my To-Dos and I end up thankful that I took a break. Wednesday was Labor Day and that meant no work. We headed out to Cabcab where my cousin's mom and her family lived. It was right next to the beach, with a fantastic view of Apo Island. The water looked so inviting, despite the scorching heat. I didn't bring swimming clothes, however, so I just sat around, breathed the salty sea breeze and wondered why I've been depriving myself of moments like these for so long. I also took a few photos of kids who were luckier than me because they were in their shorts and briefs and they were enjoying the water like there was no tomorrow. To be a kid again, that would be a dream I would not mind having. To be a kid again and enjoy the waves and not worry about a thing.
